Do any of them know what the word “liberal” actually means?

        Look rather than dunk on you, I’m going to recommend Mike Duncan’s Revolutions podcast, because it gives a fair overview of what the liberal revolutions were about, why socialism grew out of that moment, and how there came to be this irreconciliable beef between liberalism and socialism. The whole thing is great, but 1848 is the real crisis point if all you care about is the schism.

            A liberal believes capitalism is broken and needs to be fixed.

            A socialist believes capitalism is working as intended and needs to be destroyed.

        It means you support capitalism, hence why “liberalization of the economy” means selling off public utilities, land, housing, and resources.
